Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You were able to take care of yourself before the stroke (no major disability).
- Your stroke causes noticeable problems like trouble speaking, weakness, or vision loss.
- A CT or MRI scan shows a blockage in a medium-sized blood vessel in your brain.
- Your stroke started within the last 24 hours, and there is a special brain scan showing that some brain tissue is still salvageable.

This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the blocked blood vessel in the brain can help people with a medium-sized vessel occlusion stroke. The drug may help restore blood flow and reduce disability, and it is given within 24 hours of symptom onset.
This trial tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given 4.5 to 24 hours after a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized brain artery. It aims to see if waiting longer than usual still helps reduce disability.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase given directly into the brain artery for people having a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized blood vessel. The goal is to see if it helps improve recovery when given within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
This trial tests whether a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase can improve recovery for people who had a large-vessel ischemic stroke 4.5 to 24 hours earlier and can’t have a mechanical clot removal procedure in time. If you join, you’ll get either tenecteplase or standard medical care, and the study will track your recovery and safety.
